Hi Shoe Fans!  The next Animal Print that I want to share with you is Brown Snakeskin.  I think the reason that I like brown so much is because it is such a versatile color that can come in many different shades.  The perfect compliment to that perfectly rich color is without a doubt the amazing textures created by a Snake Print pattern.

It seems that everywhere you look this fall shoes have gotten tougher and more hardcore. We are seeing a lot more straps, cutouts, and hardware enhancing the style of shoes. We’ve been seeing lots of zippers, studs, and modified shoe shapes too.

Who What Wear chronicled this trend about a week ago – saying “Go Buy Now – Fetish Footwear!”

We have seen a lot of shoes like this come in recently – and while some styles are a bit too out there for my tastes – I think a couple straps here and some studs there make a great addition. Some of our favorite dominatrix shoes here at heels.com are below:

LAMB Nayuta Heel – Lots of zippers keep this gladiator fresh. Also, I love the shape of the heel – just a little bit different than usual…

Marciano Tana Heel – I absolutely love this shoe on the foot. It has that great peep-toe thats ever present this season with a really great zipper and jewel like zipper pull details. It’s also this fall’s fav color…

LAMB Finsbury Pump – We got this in last week, not up on the site yet – but very soon! We love how this pump is sort of conservative with great on trend details – perfect even for more conservative offices.

BCBGirls Fiona Heel – This is a great little bootie/pump that is exactly on with the fetish trend. Unfortunately this one is super popular and basically sold out – only size 6.5 left! – but look for details like this, and the attention grabbing heel is also great because it really brings out the sexiness.

While none of us here actually watched the VMAs, we all wish we had just to see Britney in action. However, we did all peruse the photos of all the celebs on the red carpet. We definitely had some looks we loved… while other… not so much.

Who said that you can’t wear white after labor day?! Just the other day I walked into work in a white pair of jeans and caused a lot of controversy. Weird, I know, but people just get caught up in all of the so called “rules of fashion”. I have to give my girl Rihanna lots of love for rocking her white shoes to the VMA awards. I must say all eyes were on the shoes. LOVE IT!

Lindsay Lohan showed up in a strange looking skin tight number with weird zippered pockets. She also chose the celeb shoe favorite of this spring and summer – the YSL Tribute Platform T-strap – in the updated fall version.

You can find this shoe at Saks.

The Hills girls, except for Whitney, all showed up looking stunning. Lauren Conrad was looking fantastic and very tan.

Her super shiny shoes were by Sergio Rossi, although I would have liked to see her in something a bit more daring…

Maybe like the fantastic shoes Stephanie Pratt was wearing! We absolutely love these shoes here at Heels – the LAMB Sydney pump - and everyone who doesn’t have a pair wishes they did! Hopefully, we will be getting more in stock…

The only thing bad about the shoes is they are kind of hard to see on the red carpet because they blend in!

Heidi and and her sister also walked the red carpet – we thought Heidi’s shoes (Gucci Babouska Booties) looked really clunky and justwrong with what she was wearing.

However, we loved her sister’s shoe choice. We’re not 100% sure, but they definitely look like they may be another of our favorite shoes here at Heels.com – the Marciano Lara heel.
